Gloria

I wish I could crash like the waves

Or turn like the autumn leaves

In effort to praise You

I wish I could smell like the forest

The fragrance lifting a mighty chorus

In effort to praise You, in effort to praise You

But I'm such a limited creature

And my words can only paint so many pictures

But somewhere I think I read that I am

Treasured over all creation

So I know that I must try

I wish I could roll like the thunder

To leave the earth below in wonder

In effort to praise You

I wish I could fall like the summer rain

And every drop would sing Your name

In effort to praise You, in effort to praise You

But I'm such a limited creature

And my words can only paint so many pictures

But somewhere I'm sure I read that I am

Treasured over all creation

So I know that I must try, I must try

Gloria, glory in the highest

Forever I will hide myself in Thee

Gloria, glory in the highest

Forever I will hide myself in Thee

Every breath that I breathe

Every moment in my history

Is an effort to praise You

An effort to praise You

Gloria, glory in the highest

Forever I will hide myself in Thee

Oh, Gloria

Glory in Excelsis Deo

Gloria, Gloria

Gloria

Gloria, Gloria, Gloria
